15V Autonomy

Autonomy: freedom from external control or influence; independence.
Self-Determination: freedom to make your own choices
Heteronomy: subjection to something else

before this blogging assignment, I have never heard of the word autonomy before, I couldn't have even took a guess if I wanted to! After searching for the definition I learned that word is associated with freedom. Autonomy means that we make our own choices, and that is a crucial piece of information for us as college students. We need to know that we are in control of our futures, not our parents, friends, or anybody else!! Only we know what will truly make us happy, so we need to know that we are free to make those choices that will lead us to that happiness.
